They claim to have about 20 scheduling employees. In my past experience, that seems about 4x too high. So I thought I'd ask the group the following question: How many job schedulers do you have, and how many MIPS is the environment? I promise not to reveal where I got any of this information from, I only want the statistics. Thanks, Dan Gillis System z Client Architect, IBM think it depends on the complexity of the schedule. How many request jobs vs. cheduled jobs. Type of scheduling software (home grown, CA ESP, CA Scheduler, IBM Tivoli, etc) And whether or not you include distributed scheduling in the mix. We have 3 schedulers running about 5000 jobs a day in CA-ESP both mainframe (1 lex) and distributed. The schedules are simple. The calender is simple. We re small. In a previous life I worked in a shop with 15 Sysplexes and about 100 chedulers. for Mainframe Only. With very complex schedules. Very little dhoc. izette I have a meeting with a customer next week to talk about z/OS batch job scheduling. They claim to have about 20 scheduling employees.
